US RID Happy Meal toys

[griffin]

Apparently these are out next month at McDonalds in America, with eight different toys with gimmicks - Optimus, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Fixit, Sideswipe, Fracture, Clampdown, Underbite.

Based on past fast food toys, we aren't likely to get these here... but you never know.

Normally McDonald's Australia releases a subset of the toys released in America but it may take several months to show up.

Like most other McDonalds toys, I feel like they aren't as awesome as they used to be. I remember when I was a kid, McDonalds had Happy Meals with Hot Wheels tracks , but unfortunately nowadays you're gonna get figures that don't do anything
Don't know why the toys are declining in quality. The Armada Transformers were the best! Energon and Animated were awesome as well, but after that it's just meh

Best toys were the transforming fries and burgers. Made with good solid plastics as well.

Armada had the BEST fast food transformers, as they could interact with actual TF figures, cuz they had mini-con ports and what not. Animated and Energon were ok, even the Beast Wars/Machines weren't horrible, but these new non-transforming cruddy gimmick things aren't worth buying Happy Meals for.

Pretty much sums it up.

I do love the super old transforming burger/nuggets/ice cream and such though. I still have like 6/8 of them I think

I don't know whatever happened to mine. Wish I had kept a closer eye on them while moving out from my folks place. God knows what has happened to them.

Good thing is they're pretty cheap to buy on eBay from memory.

These are out now in America... in case anyone was looking out for them from secondary sources.

That post mentioned a "Customer Appreciation" Set. Is that avail at retail? It would be great to get a full set now boxed, and I don't know of any secondary sources to try.
